Best idea would be to move over a bit so everyone you want with you knows where to go if these forums abruptly vanishArnoxthe1 said:
Actually, since I have no beef with and am chill with pretty much all of you, all of you are very welcome to come with me. At the moment I'm leaning towards the Giants in the Playground forum. The only thing that turns me off from it is the color scheme but who cares really. Well, that and I still can't believe it's so active considering that Google doesn't pull it up unless you specifically search for it.The Decapitated Centaur said:
I figured, but being the picky one I didn't want to presume.Arnoxthe1 said:
Well I mean the faster way to find giantitp is looking for Order of the Stick and then clicking the forum button
Likewise, the only times i've really dealt with epic wynn was stumbling across some of his threads in the ww, ignoring them and moving on, otherwise i'd see him sometimes popping up in a thread, say something sometimes self aggrandizing then leave.RaikuFA said:
The worst i thought of him was that he seemed egotistical but that's not something i'll hate someone over.
Seems i might have gotten lucky in avoiding his worst antics.
I love the new forum I hang out with so forums ain't the problem at all, but the limited amount of people we have left on this site? Well speaking strictly for myself, a good portion i won't miss and likewise i won't be missed by them.Silentpony said:
On that note..Fine i'mma stop being a tease.. Not least cos i think you (silentpony) might actually be someone who could be interested by this site (being a 40k fan pretty much auto qualifies you). It's possible others might be interested too. Honestly based on my gut feeling, I think this place is like for 15-20% of the remaining escapist pop at best.

Disclaimer for the codex':
-Say dumb shit, people will call you dumb. Mods jobs are mainly administrative, they don't care about tone policing, this can also lead to a lot of bluntness.
-Site has an overall right wing bias, the rpgcodex welcomes discussion but the usual sort of snarkiness and rhetoric that "won" you arguments on this site won't work on rpgcodex and people will quickly call you out on your attempts to appear smarter then you are.
You'll find left wingers and liberals on the site, but due to the site's reputation for hostility and edginess, it tends to chase them away (a reputation the forumites encourage precisely because of that reason even though imo they are a nicer bunch then on this site overall once you get past the blunt exterior). When it comes to political threads in particular i've felt more comfortable sharing my views on that site even when they went against the grain of the thread i was posting in then i have ever done on this site and likewise tend to feel more listened to even when the person doesn't agree with me.
-Somewhat related to the above, the user base of the dex tends to be older and more seasoned then those on this site, and there is also far more users from outside usa and uk.
-Even though the primary drive of the codex is on rpgs (it's in the name after all!) they cover all genres.
-If you're the kinda person who genuinely likes neogafs moderation and how they ban people for having the wrong views, or in general value strict moderation, stay the fuck away please xD You'll hate it there.
-The codex is highly critical when it comes to games and any praise and acclaim there for a game is hard earned.
-Lots of NSFW content, heck there's even porn threads floating around if that's your thing.
I recommend to start with the let's plays(codex playground)and game discussions to get a taste for the site and what makes it kewl.
Site ain't for everybody, you've been warned.
If this actually does go belly up, it may genuinely be my last run on any proper fora.
It's all transitioning, slowly, to shorter and more sustainable/profitable formats- like Discord, the chans, reddit, etc.
The era (at least for me) is ending, folks. Was a good 16 year run.
Some of ya are cool.
Others...much less so.
But still, take care of your stupid selves, regardless.

I've been absent for a hella long time, and yet somehow I'm still a mod. I'm pretty sure I even formally asked to not be a mod anymore before I went absent...but here I am. Not doing anything with these powers. I did post a thread in staff chat this morning bringing it to their attention, lol.
It's funny though, I spend most of my time in R&P and it has always seemed generally ambivalent every time the Escapist was dying. I'm not saying it's not going to die, in fact the loss of Critical Miss seems like a swansong to me. Though I'll also fully admit I am not and never have been highly in tune with the inner workings and politics of The Escapist.

You should have just ignored and carried on. You can get away with more, since there's not many people here.LostGryphon said:

I thought I did too. I don't even know lol. Crazy world we live in. Guess I was craving the solace of an Internet board that's seen less crazy times.Marik2 said:You should have just ignored and carried on. You can get away with more, since there's not many people here.LostGryphon said:

Actually you're way off without knowing it because Mods are like ninjas: You don't even know we're there but we are--working in the shadows.Marik2 said:
I didn't know Lilani still had her Mod powers but there are about 8 or 9 active Mods at the moment. Some more active than others, sure but myself and Tippy2 and JoJo and Katherine are the ones whom are most visible because of our interaction with the community.
